2010, Pay it Forward Kenosha!
With all the holiday season in full swing, many of us are touched by the spirit of giving and helping our fellow man. Thanksgiving and Christmas are wonderful times of year to do just that, and all of us get a great deal of satisfaction from helping. What a joyous time of year.
However, let us not forget that November and December quickly fade into January and February. The holidays are over, the bills are coming due, it’s winter, the skies appear cloudy and it’s also cold outside! Where have the good feelings gone?
This November 2009, Shorewest Realtors, Kenosha has started an initiative dubbed “Pay it Forward 2010”. See, in the spirit of giving and caring for our community all year long, Shorewest Kenosha has taken the challenge forward to feed a family a week for all 2010; 52 weeks, 52 families! We all know that it’s easy to give in the good times and when the festive, holiday spirit is in the air, but what about in late February, early May, mid-August, or… the holiday season again? All too often we get caught up in our busy lives throughout the year, and, well, there’s nothing wrong with that, but let’s not forget our fellow man who struggles throughout the year, during the rut of the year, just to put food on the table.
We’ve already collected enough food at Shorewest Realtors, 5708 75th Street, Kenosha, WI to carry us through the first thirteen weeks (13 families) of 2010. If you’d like to help us meet our challenge to pay it forward, please contact me, Pete O’Connor, Shorewest Realtors at 262-694-2141, or 608-770-4568.
